    This really deserves a lot more attention imo; this is an incredible build with a lot of effort put into it

    love the fact that the wings has more parts than all of my gliders combined.... how did you have think of that? how is airfoil realistic how are the airbraks so good, and the cockpit like what. all i can say is amazing job.

    @Ilovegliders Yes thermals are the main way to gain altitude although what I’m talking about, what I’m talking about is how the wings of a glider effect how much drag is on the aircraft.

    @MA2211CwCABaerospace not really we glider pilots circle in thermals to gain hight
    We fo have bigger wings but we just thermal

    After removing 25% of the parts to have a smooth flying experience with a laptop that's being pushed to its limits, It flies pretty good, but please optimize your fricking aircraft 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
    There is a way to make a square with a circle hole in it by using a hollow fuselage block, setting all corners to circular, and using the fill to cut out the round parts outside and turning it into a square. A wide rectangle with a circle hole is also simple, just make the circular hollow fuselage block itself really big, make the circle hole really small via inletThickness Front and Back, and cut out the round parts outside with fill.
    .
    The shape of the hole inside is dependent on the shape of the fuselage itself, but it can be turned into a rectangle by cutting off the circly bits outside.
    Your red airbrakes and the cockpit plate thingy with the circle holes in it are hella unoptimized, no wonder your Laptop's dying 🙏🙏🙏 Please try to use this, it will cut down on part count slightly but it's better than more part count which leads to lag.

    This is definitely one of the best 'general aviation' aircraft I've seen so far, you definitely did a fantastic job making it

    @TheGliderGuy By having an elongated wing to reduce drag so they can stay up in the air for longer periods of time without the need for powered flight obviously.
